Using my old #nevadamap to discover #abandonedplaces #Nevada. We had a blast spending the 4th of July (re)discovering the #wonder & #hercules mines.

Stay tuned for the video and fill write up on the website. ~#mapon everyone. #creativecartography @creative__cartography #mapadventures #travelnevada @travelnevada #nevadaghosttown #nevadaghosttowns #nevadamagazine @nevada_magazine #mapsarecool #discovernevada #mapofnevada #mapyourjourney #harmonyheywood #nevadapicoftheday #nowherenevada #ghosttownsofamerica #exploreamerica #dontfencemein @ghostownhunters @jjkelleyfilm @the_explorers_club #theexplorersclub @thetravelchannel @discovery @natgeo @natgeotravel #nationalgeographic (at Middlegate Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1cwIDrwQ-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

#bar is so tempting to just plant my ass here and spend the day chatting locals up. Home to the legendary Middlegate Monster Burger, this #oldschool #roadhouse pit stop in rural Middlegate, #Nevada is a must-see. Originally named by James Simpson in the 1800s, this tiny little town #saloon and #Highway50 rest stop was named after the gate-like mountains surrounding the stop. With the east being Eastgate, the west being Westgate, of course, the rural Nevada town must logically be called Middlegate, and so it was. The building was originally commissioned by the Overland Stage & Freight Company to be used as an active station on the #PonyExpress. #Middlegate Station was used by the Pony Express to change horses along their route. While the Pony Express operation was shortlived, Middlegate Station continued to operate as a stage and freight station until the early 1900s. Before long, the #LincolnHighway—the first paved highway across #America—popped up in front of the Station. Soon after, the then-unused station building was purchased in a BLM auction and restored as a #bar, café, and motel. The entire ceiling of the legendary Middlegate Station is covered in dollar bills. The story is, when the restaurant first opened, no banks existed in the area. So, regulars would leave cash behind with their names on it to spend on a later visit. Travelers today can play a part in the #history, pinning their own #dollars to the ceiling of #MiddlegateStation. #Vscocam #vsco #lifeofadventure #letsgosomewhere #travelstoke #go #gowest #travel #explore #goexplore #wanderlust #roadtrip #ontheroad #adventure #sprinter #sprintervan #907sprinter (at Middlegate Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/CJcL00kh4Ps/?igshid=16ufljz04cys2

More than 1,800 miles in 10 days! From St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California the Pony Express could deliver a letter faster than ever before. In operation for only 18 months between April 1860 and October 1861, the Pony Express nevertheless has become synonymous with the Old West. • • • • • #middlegatestation #loneliestroadinamerica #oldwest #ponyexpress #usa (at Middlegate Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0SCOqHjXKe/?igshid=1p52itgmod4br

Middlegate Station has survived as the only gas station for 50 miles in either direction, and a rare eatery along the "Loneliest Road of America." In the early 90’s Stephen King pulled in, got a room and parked himself at the bar for seven days straight with a legal pad. There, he cranked out his novel Desperation. • • • • • #travel #travelphotography #usa #cowboy #middlegatestation #loneliestroadinamerica (at Middlegate, Nevada) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0N9GYrjyJJ/?igshid=1x0ar7tb2p1s9

The Old Middlegate Station, fun fact: Stephen King stayed at the Middlegate motel for seven days and wrote a portion of ”Desperation”. • • • • • #travel #travelphotography #usa #nevada #loneliestroadinamerica #middlegatestation (at Middlegate Station) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0N1vekDaok/?igshid=1408sa9r5u7o2
